Cremer AC.52 (S0005)

s0005An other Cremer, it's a 500/650W Fresnel lantern. This was a really popular lamp for film lighting in France. 

The lens is 160mm in diameter.

We can see there is an integrated base plate, that's really handy. That is also the case for the Cremer AC.26, in fact, I think that's the case for the entier range from Cremer. It seems to be a commun feature for film lighting equipment from that era.

It is part of the Cremer catalogue, and really popular in the 60's in France. We can spot them on the cover of "Les Aventures de Tintin, Les bijoux de la Castafiore", or in the film "Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii".

In the pictures, you can see an exemple of episcope lamp.
